Jason Sudeikis offers touching tribute to uncle George Wendt after his passing at 76
Jason Sudeikis spent the weekend in his hometown of Kansas City over the weekend for his annual Big Slick charity event, where he also opened up about his late uncle, George Wendt. The beloved Cheers star passed away in his sleep on May 20 at 76 years of age, as a slew of stars paid tribute including his co-stars such as Ted Danson. Sudeikis was asked about his uncle during a Friday press conference for ahead of the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend fundraiser for Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. After saying he was an 'amazing guy,' the microphone cut out, as he joked, 'that's him messing with the sound board, like "Don't talk about me, quit talking about me."' 'I mean, there's that old saying of like, "Don't meet your heroes," usually because "they let you down," I assume, is the back half of that statement. But he's not one of those people,' Sudeikis said of Wendt (via Kansas City TV station KSHB 41). 'He's as fun and kind and as warm as any character he played on television or in films,' Sudeikis said of his uncle. The beloved Cheers star passed away in his sleep on May 20 at 76 years of age, as a slew of stars paid tribute including his co-stars such as Ted Danson. 'He was an incredible influence to me, both as someone that plays the trail, being from the Midwest and teaching me that acting was a career you could actually have, if you really care about it,' he added. Sudeikis continued, 'He also always kept connected to his family, to his roots — both in Chicago, of course, where he's from, but then also the time he spent here, going to Rockhurst University (in Kansas City).' Sudeikis joked that he also went to, 'a bar called Mike's a whole bunch, where I think he logged maybe 18 credit hours.' 'But it was all in preparation of a job that we all know him for, Cheers. All time well spent. But yeah, we miss him greatly, and I love him dearly.' Sudeikis helps organize the annual event along with other notable Kansas City natives like Rob Riggle, Paul Rudd, Eric Stonestreet, Heidi Gardner, which Wendt would often participate in. Riggle added, 'I'll just say as you know as an observer too, George was always willing to participate. He was always an active participant in Big Slick whether he was umpiring the game, on stage whatever it was. He was easy with a laugh and always fun to be around.' Rudd admitted that Wendt's absence, 'will be felt,' adding, 'he's so a part of it, just as much as any of us. He is a really really sweet guy. I loved him.' The weekend culminates with a celebrity softball game, with Sudeikis honoring his uncle by wearing a Kansas City Royals jersey with Wendt 76 on the back. Last June, Wendt appeared on the Still Here Hollywood podcast with Steve Kmetko, where Wendt said his nephew Sudeikis was, 'so smart' and 'so thoughtful.' 'Very proud. Proud especially, you know, not only of the success, but he's solid. Have you read profiles and stuff? I mean he is such a mensch,' Wendt said. He also recalled Sudeikis' interview, when he was asked whether his uncle gave him any advice regarding his career. 'And Jason goes — he's so sharp — he goes, "Yeah he told me just get on the best show on television and one of the greatest shows of all time and just pretty much take it from there." And he goes, "So I did." He got on SNL,' Wendt said.

"Queens supporting queens": Fans go wild as Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez spotted having intense heart-to-heart during cozy dinner night out in NYC
Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez's late-night NYC dinner fuels fans' curiosity (Getty Images) On a breezy Saturday evening in New York City, longtime friends and music icons Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were seen enjoying a cozy dinner at the Monkey Bar. The duo, known for their unshakable bond, sparked a wave of online excitement when a candid snapshot of their reunion surfaced via gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi. With no sign of their significant others — Travis Kelce in Kansas City for the Big Slick charity show and Benny Blanco apparently away — it was a rare and intimate moment shared between two of the most influential women in pop culture. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez spark buzz with deep dinner chat during surprise reunion in Manhattan In the photo that's now making the rounds on social media, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are captured in what seems to be an intense and heartfelt exchange. Swift, dressed in a sleek black tank top trimmed with silver sequins, looks visibly surprised — a reaction that fans are already speculating about. Opposite her, Gomez sits in a booth wearing a dark scoop-neck shirt layered with a jacket featuring wide lapels. Her hair is pulled back into a polished bun, and her gold hoop earrings add a soft touch of elegance. Though simple in setting, the image has stirred major buzz, and for good reason. This meet-up wasn't just a social catch-up — it came on the heels of a massive personal victory for Swift. Just days earlier, she revealed that she had officially acquired the rights to her master recordings, marking the end of a years-long struggle with Big Machine Records, Scooter Braun, and later, Shamrock Capital. The battle had defined much of her recent career narrative, but now, it's finally resolved. In an emotional message to her fans, Swift wrote, 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. As a flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. I almost stopped thinking it could happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now.' The moment didn't go unnoticed by Gomez. Sharing Swift's post on her Instagram Story, she offered a proud nod of support, writing, 'Yes you did that Tay! So proud.' It's the kind of sincere and public show of friendship that fans have come to expect from this power duo. Having met back in 2008 when both were dating the Jonas Brothers — Swift with Joe, Gomez with Nick — their friendship has since matured into something far deeper than mere celebrity camaraderie. Through breakups, professional pivots, health battles, and monumental career shifts, Swift and Gomez have consistently been each other's pillars of support. Today, with Swift navigating her high-profile romance with NFL star Travis Kelce and Gomez engaged to producer Benny Blanco, the two remain just as tight-knit. Though Swift has kept a relatively low profile in 2025 following her blockbuster Eras Tour, recent sightings — including this dinner with Gomez — suggest she may be ready to step back into the spotlight. There are even whispers of new music on the horizon. Whatever comes next, one thing remains clear: this friendship, forged in their teenage years and tested over time, continues to shine brighter with every passing year.
